Dear Teacher,

The CLEAN & CLEAR® brand is dedicated to educating students about the importance of skin care. The CLEAN & CLEAR® Face the Day: Skin

Care 101 program is designed to prepare students to be confident and comfortable in their own skin as they face the many changes ahead.

The overall purpose of this program is to provide lessons that will aid you in talking with students about the sensitive subject of skin care in

a fun, interactive way.

What you will find in the teacher’s guide are tips, lessons and conversation starters to engage with students to introduce the basics.

Program components include:• Classroom Sample – CLEAN & CLEAR® Oil Absorbing Sheets – For class experiment (2 per student)

• Activity Book – 1 per student

• Teacher’s Guide – 1 per class

• Poster – 1 per class – With helpful skin care tips

• Program Website at www.cleanandclearfacetheday.com – Featuring additional content and interactive videos

Page 1 OverviewThe cover of the activity book provides a quick introduction for students. Use this as a guide for approaching the sensitive topic of skin care

and how change (both life changes and physical changes) are relevant and applicable to students' lives.

Teacher’s Guide

Page 4 OverviewThis section corresponds with the activities on page four (the back cover) in the student activity book. The objectives of these activities are to:• Encourage a dialogue about skin care and acne using lessons learned from the materials.• Promote self-expression and individuality among students.

The Real You Comes ThroughFOCUS: In this section, students practice what they have learned. The idea is to get students comfortable with talking about acne and skin problems and know that there are solutions. This section will help reinforce what they learned and put their knowledge to the test by working through common skin care related scenarios.

Have students visit the website at www.cleanandclearfacetheday.com to view the interactive videos prior to starting the discussion. ACTIVITY: Break students into groups and see how many solutions they come up with for each scenario below. If students are comfortable, have them come up with possible teen-relevant scenarios on their own. It’s picture day in two days, and my best friend has a pimple! She asked me if it would go away faster if she squeezed it.Solutions: Don't touch, squeeze or pinch the pimple! Use a cleanser with Salicylic Acid. Spot treat with Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid product. Make sure to cleanse morning, night and after sports. Don’t scrub too hard to avoid irritating your skin.I just got home from soccer practice and don’t feel like showering before bed. I think I’ll just blow it off until the morning.Solutions: Going to bed without washing away oil from activity could lead to a breakout. Keep some wipes handy in your backpack or locker. Shower up with a proper cleanser before bed. My friend is worried about having soooo many blackheads. Scrubbing like crazy with soap isn’t making them go away!Solutions: Cleanse twice a day with cleanser containing Salcylic Acid. Get in the habit of using oil absorbing sheets during the day to counteract oil that builds up on the surface of your skin. Consider using a gentle exfoliating scrub, as it may be helpful in clearing away dead skin cells that can lead to blackheads.

The Real Me is...FOCUS: This final project is to help students see the big picture – skin breakouts are part of growing up. The section is meant to help build self-esteem by looking beyond breakouts and focusing on positive characteristics through a discussion of role models.

FOR DISCUSSION: Have a discussion surrounding positive role models that students will be familiar with. Possible choices could be actors/actresses, Olympic athletes, Paralympic athletes, sports figures, local celebrities or even a friend or relative. Encourage students to come up with some of their own. Talk about some of the words and themes that came up through this activity.

Students do not have to share but encourage them to do so. What words describe their role models? What makes them unique? What did they have to overcome? How do you think they felt?

Provide an example or two to get the conversation started in the right direction. (ie: “I admire volunteers for their selflessness and bravery.” Or “I think my aunt is a great role model because she is so caring and thoughtful and always takes time to call each of her nieces and nephews each month.”)

ACTIVITY: Have students create a sign or poster that lets them show their real self. Students can write their statements directly in the activity book in the allotted space on the back cover and cut it out or make a decorative sign on a separate sheet of blank paper. Go online to www.cleanandclearfacetheday.com for examples from CLEAN & CLEAR®. Signs start with “The Real Me is_________________.”

Encourage students to share their "The Real Me is" statement with friends and family.

Page 2 OverviewThis section corresponds with the activities on page two in the student activity book. The objectives of these activities are to:

• Educate students about the basic science behind their skin and the causes of acne.

• Provide an interactive experiment that shows students how oil spreads.

Face the FactsFOCUS: This section will teach students about different parts of the skin and different causes of breakouts. It is meant to help prepare

students for the changes their skin may soon be experiencing.

FOR DISCUSSION: Discuss the skin diagram and how it is normal for changes in the skin to cause there to be more oil. If students aren't

already experiencing these changes, they may soon. Excess oil, combined with bacteria and dead skin cells, can all cause pores to

become blocked and lead to various types of breakouts that will be discussed in the BREAKOUT BREAKDOWN section on page three of

the activity book.

The Science of OilFOCUS: This activity highlights that oil is continuously produced and demonstrates that oil and germs can spread between the face and

hands to other surfaces. It emphasizes the importance of keeping skin clean to help control oil and manage breakouts.

EXPERIMENT: Distribute the CLEAN & CLEAR® Oil Absorbing Sheets — two per student. Have students read out the steps as you talk

through the experiment. Beneath each step are talking points for experiment in italics.

1. Take one of your CLEAN & CLEAR® Oil Absorbing Sheets and dip it into the cup of water.

• What happens when the sheet is dipped into the water? The water is not absorbed, and the sheet doesn’t change color. This product is specifically designed to soak up oil, not water, and that is why there is no change.2. Now, take your other sheet and use it to wipe your face.

• What change do you see on the sheet? Wiping their faces with the sheet will cause the sheet to turn a darker blue from the oil. • How do we know it’s oil? Dipping the sheet in WATER did not cause any change in color.3. Note the differences between the sheet used on your face and the sheet that you dipped into water. Why do you think one sheet looks

different from the other?

• Just from looking at their skin, did students see oil? Probably not. Oil glands produce oil 24/7, though, even when we can't always see it. The change of color in the sheet used on their face is proof that oil exists on our skin even when it isn't clearly visible. • If students experienced little or no change, this would mean their skin is not producing a lot of oil. Remind students that everyone's skin is different and produces different amounts of oil. This is normal and natural, but understanding if your skin is more prone to oiliness can help you better manage it.4. From what you have already learned about breakouts, what does this experiment

teach you about oil and your skin?

• Students should now understand oil is continuously produced even if they don’t SEE it - Too much oil can lead to breakouts – Cleansing in the morning and at night will help manage breakouts, and controlling oil throughout the day will minimize that unwanted shine.

Page 3 OverviewThis section corresponds with the activities on page three in the student activity book. The objectives of these activities are to:• Show students the different types of acne they may encounter.• Inform students about helpful ingredients that can fight acne.• Introduce discussion about acne myths and skin care.• Inform students about the importance of a regular skin care routine.

Breakout BreakdownFOCUS: Discuss with students the different types of acne they may encounter. Quiz students on the definitions for pimples,blackheads and whiteheads.

Clean Skin SolutionFOCUS: This section introduces proper cleansing and steps for a skin care routine to control clogged pores that lead to breakouts. The emphasis is on important factors in an effective personal skin care routine.

FOR DISCUSSION: Try to get students talking about what skin tricks they’ve heard about in their daily lives. What is their current routine? Do they have one? When do they typically wash their face and how often? What types of products are they using? Bring up questions that can be answered during the course of the program. Discuss the importance of cleansing morning & night to remove excess oil. Also mention that students with acne-prone skin should consider using a medicated facial cleanser that contains acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.

Below are some acne myths and skin care do’s and don’ts that you can use to help guide the conversation.Popping a pimple will help it go away faster.FALSE: When you pop a pimple, it's actually more likely to make matters worse and leave a mark or scar.Acne is a result of poor personal hygiene.FALSE: A common misconception is that acne is caused by dirt. Oil, bacteria and dead skin cells cause acne. Diet doesn't affect acne.FALSE: Chocolate, sugar, and greasy foods have not been proven to give you acne. But some refined carbs like white bread, pasta, chips and cornflakes might actually make acne worse if you already have it. So, it's important that you eat a well-balanced diet to stay healthy and feel better about yourself.Stress can make breakouts worse.TRUE: Stress causes hormones to fluctuate and can affect your body leading it to produce extra oil, which can make breakouts worse.Scrubbing with soap and hot water will get rid of blackheads.FALSE: Hot water and scrubbing can actually irritate your skin and create more oil production. Some cleansers are especially suited to help clear clogged pores.

Here are some Do’s and Don’ts to share with students. These are also reinforced through the poster and videos online.Do’s• A.M. Cleanse – Cleanse every morning with a gentle cleanser. Consider using a cleanser with acne-medicine to help keep skin clear of breakouts.• Exfoliate – Consider using a gentle scrub every 2-3 days to help remove dead skin cells and control blackheads and breakouts. If you suffer from chronic acne, you may want to consult a dermatologist prior to using exfoliating scrubs.• Spot Treat – Treat flare-ups as they occur and stop zits right in their tracks. • P.M. Cleanse – Cleanse at night before bed, especially if play sports, exercise, or girls, if you wear makeup.* It’s also good to Moisturize – Especially if your skin is dry to keep dead skin cells from building up and clogging pores.Don’ts• Don’t pinch or squeeze pimples.• Don’t go to bed without washing, especially after sports or other activity that makes you sweat.

Acne HeroesFOCUS: To educate students on the two most common acne prevention and acne-treating ingredients found in skin care products.

FOR DISCUSSION: Students can explore the CLEAN & CLEAR® website (www.cleanandclear.com) to find products with these ingredients. They can check out the Acne Prevention and Advanced Acne Control sections in the drop down Products tab on the site. You can also encourage the students to go to the store or find a product at home that has one of these ingredients and report back to the class on what they found.
